I am extremely excited! I have been trying very hard not to spend money on anything because the unemployment voices tell me not to.  But I shut out the little voices today and signed up for an online course offered by Nicole’s Classes. Yes, Illustrator 101. I have used Illustrator, but I am pretty sure I am using it incorrectly. It probably takes me twice as long to do something that should only take 2 minutes to complete. I am looking at this as an investment. I also have a Kanvuus Artist tablet that I have yet to learn to use.  In any case, the course starts on August 2nd and lasts for 4 weeks. AND there is homework. Did I stutter?  Yes, homework! What am I getting myself into?  The course will be taught by Alma Loveland (pictured above). The course itself costs $125 and the textbook is $45. Luckily, I stopped to read the course description again, only to find that you can get 7% off the textbook with the promo code “ONLINEBUNDLE“. I will keep everyone posted on my progress when class is in session!
